Nature Walk to Nine Wells Saturday 20th August
20th August 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm BST
You are invited to join me for a walk around the Nine Wells nature reserve from 2 p.m. on 20th August to observe the interesting flora and fauna of this woodland site. Nine Wells is of historic and geological importance as the chalk springs act as the source for Hobson’s Conduit and traditional water supply to Cambridge.
As before stout footwear is advised and also long trousers as a precaution against any nettle/brambles. Sun protection is also advised if appropriate and water if it’s a hot day. This walk will be at participants’ own risk.
Assemble at the noticeboard at the western entrance to the reserve (the one nearest the DNA path to Addenbrookes).
Note: there is no car parking near to the site but it can be reached via a public footpath from Granham’s Road or the National Cycle Network path that runs between Shelford/Addenbrookes (the DNA path).
Further details of the reserve, including location, can be found at https://www.cambridge.gov.uk/nine-wells-local-nature-reserve
